As many of you know, I lost a loved one who had Alzheimer's disease and saw first hand the effect this devastating disease can have. So, the Alzheimer's Association and their work is very important to me. Since 2006 I have participated in The Walk to end Alzheimer's (previously called Memory Walk), first in Orange County, CA and now back home in Albuquerque. Please take a moment to visit my Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s™ donation page either by clicking here, or the link on my sidebar.

This will be the 9th year I have participated in The Walk and the 5th year in Albuquerque. To celebrate year 5 in Albuquerque, my fundraising goal is $500 and I hope to finally be a member of the Champions Club! I appreciate any and all support and thank you in advance for your help!

Albuquerque Animal Welfare is asking for donations of comfort gifts for animals who have to spend Christmas in City Shelters. They are calling it "Operation Silent Night."

Please click the Operation Silent Night flyer above for more information or you can visit this link.
You can help this holiday by donating gently used or new blankets, sweaters, jackets, beds, toys (dogs & cats) or treats, for the pets who are spending the holidays at the Animal Welfare shelters as they wait to find forever homes. On Christmas Eve, Santa’s elves will distribute the donations to each animal at the shelters.
Members of the public can drop off their donations at the Animal Welfare Department shelters or any stores listed below from now to December 21.

"We should understand well that all things are the work of the Great Spirit. We should know the Great Spirit is within all things: the trees, the grasses, the rivers, the mountains and the four legged and winged peoples; and even more important, we should understand that the Great Spirit is also above all these things and peoples. When we do understand all this deeply in our hearts, then we will fear and love and know the Great Spirit, and then we will act and live as the Spirit intends" ~ Black Elk
